A recent update to the gcc compiler (v4.8.3-5 x86_64) on 64-bit cygwin leads to several new warnings about the implicit declaration of the memmem(), strlcpy() and strcasestr() functions. For example: CC archive.o archive.c: In function 'format_subst': archive.c:44:3: warning: implicit declaration of function 'memmem' \ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] b = memmem(src, len, "$Format:", 8); ^ archive.c:44:5: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer \ without a cast [enabled by default] b = memmem(src, len, "$Format:", 8); ^ This seems to be caused by a change to the system headers which results in the _XOPEN_SOURCE macro now having prioity over the _GNU_SOURCE and _BSD_SOURCE macros (they are simply ignored). This in turn leads to the declarations of the above functions to be suppressed. In order to suppress the warnings, don't define the _XOPEN_SOURCE macro on cygwin Signed-off-by: Ramsay Jones <ramsay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- git-compat-util.h | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/git-compat-util.h b/git-compat-util.h index 400e921..cef2691 100644 --- a/git-compat-util.h +++ b/git-compat-util.h @@ -75,7 +75,8 @@ # endif #elif !defined(__APPLE__) && !defined(__FreeBSD__) && !defined(__USLC__) && \ !defined(_M_UNIX) && !defined(__sgi) && !defined(__DragonFly__) && \ - !defined(__TANDEM) && !defined(__QNX__) && !defined(__MirBSD__) + !defined(__TANDEM) && !defined(__QNX__) && !defined(__MirBSD__) && \ + !defined(__CYGWIN__) #define _XOPEN_SOURCE 600 /* glibc2 and AIX 5.3L need 500, OpenBSD needs 600 for S_ISLNK() */ #define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED 1 /* AIX 5.3L needs this */ #endif -- 2.1.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
